Psalms 117 – Praise the LORD, All Ye Nations

Just two verses, the Bible's shortest chapter calls every nation to praise the LORD.

Psalms 117 – The Shortest Psalm of Praise

Coming right after the personal thanksgiving of Psalms 116, this two-verse psalm widens the call to praise, inviting 'all ye nations' and 'all ye people' to join in worship.


हे जाति-जाति के सब लोगों, यहोवा की स्तुति करो! हे राज्य-राज्य के सब लोगों, उसकी प्रशंसा करो!

क्योंकि उसकी करुणा हमारे ऊपर प्रबल हुई है; और यहोवा की सच्चाई सदा की है यहोवा की स्तुति करो!

Its confidence that God's truth 'endureth for ever' echoes the singular praise of <a href="/bible/irvhin/isaiah/chapter-25/1">Isaiah 25:1</a>, and its brief praise opens into the long thanksgiving of <a href="/bible/irvhin/psalms/chapter-118">Psalms 118</a>.
